Police Captain SaiJai of Sattahip police station received notification of the death of a young child at a house in his jurisdiction. He went along to the scene along with medics and a rescue foundation unit to provide assistance. At the scene he found 73 year old Khun Wassana and her deceased grandson Itthikorn.
Khun Wassana was obviously distraught. She had brought up and cared for the young boy since he was a baby. Her son, the child's father Khun Munwong aged 35 who is in the Thai military had left the boy with his mother Khun Wassana after he had split up with his wife soon after she gave birth to the baby.
The little boy Itthikorn had a serious disability suffering from a rare condition that had caused his head to almost twice the normal size.
Police Captain SaiJai and the village headman and concerned local residents got together to take the child to the local temple for funeral rites to be arranged.

Rayong Drug Dealer Wants to go to Prison
An unusual and disturbing story from Rayong. Sattahip drug enforcement agents snared a low level drugs dealer in a sting operation. That's not unusual they do that every day. What is unusual is the reason he gave the agents as to why he was dealing.
The Sattahip agents had information that drugs were being dealt from a residence in Moo 1 Ban Chang near Rayong. They set up a sting operation with an undercover agent using 1,400 Baht in marked notes. At the location he used the notes to purchase 7 Yaa Baa (Methamphetamine) tablets.
After the deal went down other agents moved in and arrested the drugs dealer Khun Prasart aged 42. They searched him and his residence and found two more Yaa Baa Tablets and 0.40 grammes of Yaa Ice.
Under questioning Khun Prasart admitted to being in possession of class 1 narcotics and confessed to dealing drugs to teenagers in the local area. He told the agents that he started dealing drugs because he knew that he would be caught one day. When caught in all likelihood he would be sent to jail. His young brother was at present in prison in Rayong and he loved and missed his brother so much. Now he would get the opportunity to join his beloved brother.
Methinks he has not only been selling these evil chemicals he has been using too many of them himself.

Pattaya Drug Dealing Chain Arrested
Chonburi police officers accompanied by Sattahip drug enforcement agents set up a sting operation in Bang Saray District that snared a low level low life drug dealer Khun Seksak AKA Crane aged 29 who they found was in possession of 10 Yaa Baa (Methamphetamine) tablets and 1,200 baht
The officers had already arrested another dealer in death Khun Suppachai aged 28 who was detained along with the 20 Yaa Baa tablets that he was carrying. Khun Suppachai was a good singer and did his canary impression by giving up his supplier the aforementioned Khun Crane.
Khun Crane was a serial loser he had only recently been released and had served 2 years in prison for an earlier drug trafficking offence.
The daisy chain of drug dealing dim wits continued with Khun Crane now snitching on his supplier Khun Wut who he had recently purchased 50 Ya baa tablets to sell during the New Year holidays. Looks like they will be celebrating this New year, next New Year and hopefully many more New Years courtesy of the Thai Department of Corrections.

High School Student Assaulted in Plutaluang Near Pattaya
A 16 year old Sattahip high school student was riding her motorbike home in the early hours of the morning when she was seized by a pervert who kidnapped her and raped her in a nearby cassava field.
Plutaluang police were alerted to the sexual assault when thankfully the rapist returned her to her motorbike and rode off into the night.
The girl told the police that she had spent the evening at a friend's house and was on her way home on highway 331 when a man aged about 40 pulled up alongside her on a Honda Wave motorcycle. He threatened her with a knife and forced her to get on his motorcycle before taking her to a desolate spot and committing the assault.
The girl had no outward signs of injury and was taken to hospital for an examination to take place and to await the arrival of her parents. The police think that the rapist may be a construction worker living at a construction camp in the Huay Yai or Jomtien area and are actively looking for him before he strikes again.

Sattahip Thai Fighter Pilot Pickup Driver
A Sattahip journalist was surprised and more than a little intrigued when he spotted a Nissan pick-up truck being driven by a guy who appeared to be wearing a fighter pilots helmet.
He moved in a little closer to see that the driver was also wearing camouflage, maybe it was a flight suit. Maybe he was really a fighter pilot and had mistaken his Nissan Big M for his F16 fighter jet. He wanted to interview so he followed the truck but he lost top gun look alike guy but lost him in the traffic.
He made enquiries locally and found out the Tom Cruise look alike's name - Khun Nattee a 46 year old local businessman.
Finally he was face to face or was it face to visor with the feisty fake fighter pilot. Khun Nattee explained that he wore the helmet for safety reasons, just in case he was involved in an accident. He said that he was perhaps more than a little obsessed with Thai top gun types and besides which it was not against the law to dress up in such a way even when driving his pick-up or his motorcycle and agreed that maybe he looked a little like a supersonic clown but what the hell.
I wonder if he has fitted his Nissan Big M with afterburners, sidewinder missiles and an ejection seat. After all this is Thailand.

Sattahip Body on the Beach
Bodies washing up on Sattahip beaches are are a fairly common occurrence. Usually it is foreign fishermen conducting their occupations along the coast who are found either on the beaches or floating close by after falling into the water from their boats or being helped by their crew mates to fall overboard.
Sattahip Police and a unit of The Sawang Rjanatham Rescue Foundation were called out by local citizens after their attention had been drawn to a rather foul smelling odour on a nearby beach.
Rescue workers rushed to the scene and using a long stick poked and prodded a blood stained black plastic bag. On opening the bag they found - a dead and decomposing wild pig that was clearly not so wild anymore.
Police buried the putrid porker nearby and are reportedly not seeking anyone for the death of this pig.

Plutaluang Animal Shelter Takes Care of Discarded Pattaya Pets
Things are getting wuff for the pooches and moggies that are being cared for at a local home for stray animals. Members of the media were invited to take a tour of the centre for homeless pets in Plutaluang in Sattahip District not too far from Pattaya.
Thousands of stray animals pass through the centre every year. Some of them find good homes however due to the vast numbers many do not. Animals arrive at the centre usually in a very bad state. Malnourished and suffering from a host of diseases many don't even last for the first 10 days. They die even before a little TLC, food and medications can kick in.
Taking care of the animals is an expensive business. There are good folks who donate food and cash but sadly this is never enough for the centre to make ends meet. Sattahip schools and restaurants donate their surplas food and scraps but during the low season there are less tourists and less leftovers. Also during the schoool holidays school cafetrtias are closed and again the supply of leftover food dries up.
The animals that live at the animal shelter - over 1,000 dogs and cats at the present time although only getting one round meal a day gobble up 200Kg or 20 sacks of food a day. Even at discounted prices 9,000 Baht a day is a stiff price for the centre to cover. With the cost of medications vetinary care and food it takes 300,000 Baht a month just to struggle by.
Khun Sinikorn the director of Plutaluang Animal shelter implores pet owners in the Pattaya area to take care of their pets so that they don't become strays and end up on his overstretched doorstep.

Vietnamese Illegal Squid Fishing Boats Apprehended off Sattahip
Recently the region has been invaded by Vietnamese unfortunately as bad as we need it they were not Vietnamese tourists. First it was a high level delegation of Vietnamese Police Officers looking at how Royal Thai police handle problems in the busy International resort of Pattaya. Then a delegation of businessmen looking to build relations with Pattaya tourist operators. Then the Thai Navy played host to The Vietnamese Navy.
The latest visitors are however un-invited and unwanted. This invasion kicked up a stink when Thai Navy Patrol boats were dispatched to deal with a pesky fleet of Vietnamese fishing vessels that have been encroaching into Thai waters. The poaching boats equipped with high power lights to lure squid were easy to spot and soon two boats and their crews were soon reeled in.
The captains said that they were lured to the area because of the abundance of large high quality squid that fetched high prices in fish markets back home in Vietnam. Their catch was confiscated
Admiral Weeraphan said that this was a good night for the Thai Navy as there were large numbers of foreign fishing vessels off the coast of Thailand. So if fresh giant squid tickle your taste buds then you had better point your pick-up in the direction of Sattahip Naval Base before they sell out.

Gambling is illegal in Thailand and Dangerous
Gambling is illegal in Thailand. This fact is written in stone so it still surprises some visitors to Thailand when they are interrupted every five minutes whilst quaffing a cool beer by some country bumpkin in a straw hat trying to flog them a lottery ticket. Of course this is the Thai National Lottery - not gambling just a way of eliciting funds for noble causes in Thailand.
Since the military coup a few months ago the powers that be have been pushing to eliminate the multi billion Baht illegal lottery networks. Bit tough you may say but there are other reasons and other results from the gambling crackdown. The organisers of these gambling networks are often into more nefarious activities.
Sattahip police raided a house in Tambon Nong Irun of Baan Ban District. Their target was a Khun Satthawat aged 25 who was thought to be involved in running an illegal lottery scheme. Whilst searching the house and the surrounding land they found an M16 automatic weapon and 630 rounds of ammunition.
Khun Satthawat was charged with illegal gambling and having weapons of war in his possession.

Sattahip Man Hangs Himself From Tamarind Tree
Sattahip Police and a unit from The Sawang Rojanatham Rescue Foundation were called out after the body of a man had been found hanging from a tree.
At the sene in a cassava field near Moo 6 of Soi Yenrudee in Sattahip District they found the body of Khun Somwong Yensabai, aged 54. It appears that Khun Somwong had fashioned a noose from a rope, used a paint can to stand on and then committed suicide by hanging from a large Tamarind tree.
A suicide note was found in his pocket that explained that he had come to the end of his tether as he had no money to pay for rent and food and he was unable to care for himself and look after his 4 year old nephew who had been placed in his care. He also blamed relatives who had promised to send him money to help out but had renaged on their promises.
A neighbour Khun Amnuay aged 50, told the police that Khun Somwong was disabled with a gammy leg and was unable to work. Khun Somwong had asked him to look after the child that morning. He had seen his neighbour near the tamarind tree a few hours before and thought nothing of it until he went looking for him later and found him hanging from the tree.

Turtles Released from Sattahip Turtle Conversation Centre
It was Her Majesty Queen Sirikit's 82nd birthday on Sunday. And 983 sea turtles must have thought it was their birthday when they were released into the sea from a beach at SattahipTurtle Conservation Centre.
The occasion close to Royal The Thai Naval Base in Sattahip was attended by a host of dignitaries from the military, government officers, The Royal Thai police, media personalities and media persons along with a whole bunch of Thai kids.
The Commissioner of Royal Thai Fleet Admiral Phicharn Theeranet presided over the ceremony to honour a portrait of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit and then in honour of The queen the congregation wended it's way to the beach where the turtles were dispatched into the waves andthe pristine marine environment of The Gulf of Thailand.
Children are so lucky nowadays to get close to nature and do good things to benefit the environment and protect endagered animals. I must admit that the closest I ever got to a turtle when I was a kid was from a can labled Cambells Soup.

Sattahip Student Skirmish
Thai Boys and their Thai toys. When I was a young boy a long long time ago we used to colect football cards and Dinky Toys. How things have changed especially if you are a kid about town in some Thai town.
Sattahip Police were called in to brak up a fight between rival gangs from the same Sattahip High School. Rescue workers from The Sawang Rojjana Thamma Satharn Rescue Foundation were in attendance to patch up wounds and ferry two of the more severely injured to The Queen Sirikit hospital in Sattahip for further emergency treatment.
The reason for the skirmish - students from the same school but not the same class had been arguing with each other because one group of students had accelerated past another group on their motorcycles which annoyed them.
18 boys were arrested - Oh and the boys toys were seized including a pen gun, a bullet, a knuckle, 5 egg bombs and Improvised Explosive Devices.
The police then invited the student's parents to acknowledge their sons actions and escort them back home for a family chat before recording the incident and becausethey were just teenagers releasing these boys without any further charges.
